Baby Sweaters

For parents in the U.S., navigating the world of baby sweaters can feel overwhelmingly complex. This resource serves as your definitive guide, simplifying everything from the strict safety hurdles to the common headache of inconsistent sizing. SwaddleAn provides the necessary expertise on materials, CPSC safety standards, and parent-tested sizing strategies to ensure your little one is safe, comfortable, and cozy.

Key Takeaways:

• Safety: Avoid fully synthetic fabrics (Acrylic, Polyester, Nylon) as they trap heat and moisture, increasing the risk of overheating. Always check your baby’s chest or back-not their hands or feet-to accurately gauge their core temperature.

• Sizing: Always choose a size based on your baby’s Weight (lbs) and Length, rather than the age printed on the label. Most labels indicate the maximum size the clothing will fit (e.g., size 3 months means it fits babies up to 3 months of age).
• Material: Prioritize Organic Cotton and superfine Merino Wool because they are breathable, naturally temperature-regulating, and less likely to cause irritation or allergic reactions.
• Trustworthiness: Only purchase sweaters with the OEKO-TEX Standard 100 Class 1 certification. This globally recognized standard guarantees that the garments are rigorously tested and verified to be free of harmful and allergenic chemicals.
